If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, the African Association of Arizona (AFASAZ) may be the organization for you.
Since its founding in 1992, AFASAZ has provided a welcoming forum for learning, dialogue, and cultural exchange, where we agree to disagree without being disagreeable. The association has met with few exceptions on the second Sunday of every month for more than three decades. You may discover a community where your interest in Africa can grow and flourish.
AFASAZ is not just for Africans or members of the African diaspora— it is open to everyone.
From its inception in 1992, AFASAZ has been an inclusive organization that welcomes people of all races, ethnicities, religions, ages, and backgrounds who share and support its mission, vision, and values.
